Book Description

Intelligent Horizons: Exploring the Vast Applications of Artificial Intelligence unfolds the transformative journey of AI from its inception to its future potential, weaving through the myriad ways it's reshaping the fabric of society. This insightful tome delves into AI's profound impact across various sectors: healthcare, business, creative industries, environmental sustainability, and governance, revealing both its capabilities and the ethical considerations it entails. Chapter 1 sets the stage with a comprehensive overview of AI's evolution, grounding readers in the fundamental concepts that drive current innovations and applications. From historical milestones to the technologies underpinning AI, this chapter paints a picture of AI's journey from a fledgling science to a cornerstone of modern society. Chapter 2 explores AI's revolutionary role in healthcare, showcasing its contributions to diagnostics, personalized medicine, robotic surgery, and mental health. This section highlights AI's potential to save lives and optimize care, while also touching on the ethical dilemmas posed by such profound technological integration. In Chapter 3, the focus shifts to the business landscape, where AI is streamlining operations, enhancing customer experiences, and redefining marketing. The narrative examines the dual-edged sword of AI in the workplace: its capacity to create and displace jobs, urging a thoughtful approach to navigating the future of work. Chapter 4 ventures into the creative domains, where AI's involvement in art, music, literature, and entertainment challenges conventional notions of creativity and authorship. This chapter questions the boundaries between human and machine-generated art, offering a nuanced discussion on copyright and ethical considerations. Chapter 5 addresses the critical issue of environmental sustainability, illustrating how AI aids in climate modeling, conservation, smart city planning, and precision agriculture. Here, the book underscores the importance of leveraging AI to combat climate change and protect natural resources, advocating for responsible and ethical technology use. Chapter 6 examines AI's application in governance and public services, highlighting its potential to enhance policy analysis, public safety, and educational personalization. Yet, it also confronts the privacy concerns and ethical challenges inherent in deploying AI within the public sector. Finally, Chapter 7 looks forward to the emerging trends and technologies that will shape the future of AI applications. It calls for a balanced approach to innovation, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations, global collaboration, and societal preparedness in the face of AI's expanding influence. Intelligent Horizons is not just a book about artificial intelligence; it's a roadmap for navigating the complexities and possibilities of a future intertwined with AI. Through a blend of expert analysis, ethical discussion, and visionary outlook, it invites readers to engage with the pivotal issues at the heart of AI's expansion into every corner of human endeavor.

Book Description

The book provides a timely coverage of the paradigm of knowledge distillation—an efficient way of model compression. Knowledge distillation is positioned in a general setting of transfer learning, which effectively learns a lightweight student model from a large teacher model. The book covers a variety of training schemes, teacher–student architectures, and distillation algorithms. The book covers a wealth of topics including recent developments in vision and language learning, relational architectures, multi-task learning, and representative applications to image processing, computer vision, edge intelligence, and autonomous systems. The book is of relevance to a broad audience including researchers and practitioners active in the area of machine learning and pursuing fundamental and applied research in the area of advanced learning paradigms.

Book Description

For a long time what we now know as space was inaccessible to humans, not because it was at a height which was unattainable without the least astronautical technology or principles, but because of the cosmic and dualistic representation of reality. Humans were relegated to the centre, to a sort of ecesspiti of imperfection, alteration, incompleteness and finally death. Around them were crystal spheres which held the planets and starsoimmutable, eternal and perfectoa domain which was completely off-limits to humans, unless they had discarded their carnal envelope, either through a mystical experience or after death. It took a revolution, the Copernican Revolution, to shatter the celestial spheres and make them no longer forbidden territory. Galileo was one of the first revolutionaries: through his astronomical observations, he showed the Earth and the Sky were in fact made of the same fabric, the same material, and therefore belonged to the same world. Then followed Kepler and others. Centuries passed, and human conquered the air, and then space. Their feet touched the surface of the Moon and their wheels the surface of Mars. The Earth and the entire universe somehow became flat again with no folds, no curves, at least in appearance, to hide any dark corners. The horizon once again retreated out of reach taking with it perhaps the last dreams of exploration. The human imagination does not like horizons which are too flat, too clear; humanity needs to meet resistance, brakes, constraints to stop them in their tracks, to cross them and lead them, to new unknown territories. An impossible Horizon, writes Jacques Arnould in this work, but a horizon without which our adventures, our explorations would lose their savor and especially their meaning. We will then understand that even if the goal is never fully achieved, it is the quest that enriches us.i Bertrand Piccard. (Balloonist, aviator and psychiatrist, Bertrand Piccard is the first to complete a non-stop balloon flight around the globe, in a balloon named Breitling Orbiter 3. With Andre Borschberg, he is the initiator, chairman, and pilot of Solar Impulse, the first successful round-the-world solar powered flight)

Book Description

The first text to take a systems engineering approach to artificial intelligence (AI), from architecture principles to the development and deployment of AI capabilities. Most books on artificial intelligence (AI) focus on a single functional building block, such as machine learning or human-machine teaming. Artificial Intelligence takes a more holistic approach, addressing AI from the view of systems engineering. The book centers on the people-process-technology triad that is critical to successful development of AI products and services. Development starts with an AI design, based on the AI system architecture, and culminates with successful deployment of the AI capabilities. Directed toward AI developers and operational users, this accessibly written volume of the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Series can also serve as a text for undergraduate seniors and graduate-level students and as a reference book. Key features: In-depth look at modern computing technologies Systems engineering description and means to successfully undertake an AI product or service development through deployment Existing methods for applying machine learning operations (MLOps) AI system architecture including a description of each of the AI pipeline building blocks Challenges and approaches to attend to responsible AI in practice Tools to develop a strategic roadmap and techniques to foster an innovative team environment Multiple use cases that stem from the authors’ MIT classes, as well as from AI practitioners, AI project managers, early-career AI team leaders, technical executives, and entrepreneurs Exercises and Jupyter notebook examples

Book Description

Howard Gardner's brilliant conception of individual competence is changing the face of education today. In the ten years since the publication of his seminal Frames of Mind , thousands of educators, parents, and researchers have explored the practical implications of Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory—the powerful notion that there are separate human capacities, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in understanding oneself. Multiple Intelligences: The Theory in Practice brings together previously published and original work by Gardner and his colleagues at Project Zero to provide a coherent picture of what we have learned about the educational applications of MI theory from projects in schools and formal research over the last decade.
